Thread: First WILD attempt

So, I tried having a WILD last night. I started at about 11:30 PM. I just lay down in a comfortable position and started breathing slowly like I would when sleeping. I lay like this for a while, and after quite a long time my legs began to go numb. I felt like a lead blanket was being pulled over me, just like people described it. I was numb all the way up my legs up to a little before my crotch. After a while my hands started to go numb, but they seemed to just stay in that phase of right before they go numb. After a long time my left hand went completely numb. My right hand didn't go numb. Also I kept lying there until I felt like my chin was going numb but it didn't go any further. Then I finally gave up also because I was hot since my whole blanket was spread on me, but also because I waited for ages lol. I looked at the clock when I got up and it was like 1:30 AM lol I waited for like 2 hours.
Also, sometimes when breathed in or out my legs or arms would sort of twitch.
So what am I doing wrong?

Sorry for the very long post lol.

So i'm guessing if you started the WILD at 11:30 PM you didn't get any sleep before that?
For WILDs your supposed to sleep 3-7 hours before you attempt them. Just set an alarm after about 5 hours of sleep. I also recommend taking a look at this thread.

What about in an afternoon nap? I mean if I slept for like 6-7 hours and then woke up, and then after like 2 hours I try to do the WILD, is that good?

If you take like a 2 hour nap in the afternoon and attempt a WILD that's fine. It could still work, but I think a WBTB would be the better way to go.

Alright, I think I'll try a WBTB tonight.

Good luck!

Thanks I'll post here after I try it.

Sounds good, i'll be checking back.

How has your WILDing been going? Any luck?

guess hes still fighting Jabba the Hutt on his Flying Bicycle..

I actually haven't been able to attempt it yet because I've been having very irregular sleep times. I'll try and attempt it in the next few days Thanks for your interest

So, I tried WILDing today. It didn't work. What kept happening was I kept almost falling asleep and then realizing I was falling asleep and then I'd sort of jump and be awake again. After like an hour of this I THINK I actually fell asleep and then dreamt of trying to WILD and getting to SP lol. Either that, or I actually got into SP and THEN fell asleep, although I doubt that. In my dream (if it was indeed a dream), SP was just the feeling of many people sort of sitting on me and it kind of hurt. I didn't see any hallucinations with my eyes closed, and then I opened them to see if I would hallucinate and everything was sort of purple lol. I'm quite sure it was a dream and it seemed logical that if I opened my eyes expecting to hallucinate in a dream, I would. Also I've noticed that in my dreams, the things I expect to happen which then happen are usually half-assed, like the hallucination being just seeing everything purple.

I hope I explained everything clearly. If you don't understand some of my explanation, just ask and I'll try to explain it better lol.

P.S This attempt was at about 1 PM after I had slept like 5 hours till 9 AM. Basically it was a nap.
